Indian "Monsooned" Malabar - Roasted Coffee

Cupping Notes: Baker's Chocolate, Creamy, Malty

Light Roast with a Mild Body

Indian Monsoon Malabar is a unique coffee with unmatched smoothness and a mellow flavor and mouthfeel. Notes of baker's chocolate come through predominantly and finish with mild, creamy flavor. This particular coffee undergoes a specialized monsoon process which changes it from its original form to a new size, shape and color.

The concept of "monsooning" coffee began during a time when coffee beans were still being transported in the hulls of ships on voyages from India to Europe. Due to the high humidity and gusty sea breezes, the unroasted beans began to change in appearance by the time it reached its destination. The beans were swollen and had a pale yellow color much different from how they were originally harvested. Europeans soon discovered that the coffee had a very smooth and mellow flavor and it became increasingly popular. Today, monsooning is replicated in warehouses. Unroasted coffee is similarly exposed to elements and then sold to roasters all over the world to reproduce the same mellow cup that started an entire movement.

Monsoon Malabar coffee is prepared from Arabica cherries (“cherry” refers to dry-processed coffees in India). After grading, the coffee is transported to the coastal city of Mangalore where the “monsooning” is carried out in large open-walled warehouses. During the rainy months of June through August, the coffee is spread inside the warehouses with very good aeration and ventilation at a particular thickness so that the coffee slowly absorbs moisture.

Ingredients: 100% Arabica coffee.

Reviews

Surprisingly Good

"I had never purchased a light roast coffee before, preferring medium to dark roast. I was surprised at how much I like this coffee. I've even ordered another bag. The name is nice, too!"

— Wendy R. (5/5)

One of my regular, go-to

"One of my regular, go-to light roasts. I like to mix-it-up every month or so and I'm always happy with Indian Monsoon. Smooth and chocolatey, classic coffee flavor with it's own unique twist."

— Kevin J. (5/5)

Quality Flavor Freshness

"I have been drinking Indian monsoon Malabar coffee for quite some time and your beans are as good as any I have bought from other roasters. Would be great to get free shipping!"

— Prashant P. (5/5)

Increase Your Morning Caffeine

"Monsoon is one of the better choices for amping up your caffeine effect. The lighter the roast the more available caffeine. Great chocolate notes to add."

— Kevin B. (5/5)

Great taste!

"Smooth taste. Delightful"

— Malachi C. (5/5)

Office favorite

"These have become the go-to option for our office. We love the good strength, which you don’t get from a lot of pods."

— Kristen N. (5/5)

Different than other light roasts

"I enjoyed this coffee and while it was very good, it didn’t have the notes of citrus that I’m used to in most of the light roasts I have gotten with that being said I thought it was very good and will most likely order it again in the near future"

— John E. (4/5)

"A smooth tasteful coffee and easy to order for home delivery"

— Jeff H. (5/5)

One try and I'm hooked

"Just wow. Never had this style of coffee before and now I want to keep some on hand all the time! The unique monsoon drying process adds an incredible je ne sais quois to the brewed coffee's texture, adding more body than you might expect to a light roast. The color, too, was deceiving, as the process lifts more oils from the core of the bean, leading to a darker color than you might expect, but, wow are the volities still there. Not a lot of acid compared to many light roasts, but more than most medium or dark drinkers will tolerate. Takes to cream like a duck to water, but also a great black coffee experience."

— Jason Z. (5/5)

Q&A

Can this have a medium roast?
Hello! Unfortunately we aren't able to custom roast coffees due to large batch minimums. Team FRC
Is this coffee made from 100% robusta beans?
Hey James! These are 100% Arabica beans! Team FRC
Hi, do you have shipments to Mexico ?
Hello, Unfortunately at this time we do not offer shipping internationally. We hope to add this option in the future. Team FRC
How long after the beans are roasted is the package usually shipped?
Hello! Our beans are usually shipped within 24 hours of roasting. Coffee pods take a little more time as they need to de-gas before being packaged. Roast dates are placed on every package! Team FRC
